Stay, illusion!

If thou hast any sound or use of voice, Speak to me.

Denmark’s a prison. Privacy is hard to find, and intimate moments are often observed. For the Prince of Denmark, it’s also a tomb. You’re invited to enter. Come in.

Who's there? 

Give order that these bodies 

High on a stage be placèd the view, 

And let me speak to th'yet unknowing world 

How these things came about. So shall you hear 

Of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts, 

Of accidental judgments, casual slaughters, 

Of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause, 

And in this upshot, purposes mistook 

Fall'n on th'inventors' heads. All this can I 

Truly deliver and from his mouth whose voice will draw on more. 

But let this same be presently performed, 

Even while men's minds are wild, lest more mischance 

On plots and errors happen
